Subject: We interrupt this program...
Somewhat dull and "just get to the point please" explanation of how Radio works. We are first shown an orchestra, and they play 2 songs. When you think it's just going to be them and them only, a voice THEN comes on and explains how radio waves bring the orchestra to your very home. Much talk about radio towers, recieving, and transmitters are then talked about. Strictly for techies only.
